Glossary

100% green energy is energy from renewable sources (solar, hydro, wind, etc.) and from high-efficiency cogeneration (cogeneration is a highly efficient technique for producing electricity and heat that saves energy through the combined production of heat and electricity).

It is a form of payment in which the owner of the photovoltaic installation (end customer, developer or EKHI in the PPA model) assumes the total investment of a photovoltaic installation without a financial debt.

The production guarantee in a solar panel is the one that covers the minimum production that the photovoltaic panel must have throughout its life (performance that we obtain from the panel and how much it will decrease during its useful life).

Distributed generation consists of the production of electricity by many small sources, as opposed to a traditional, large, centralized production by a few generation centers. It is installed at the place of consumption or very close to the final consumer.

Angle formed by the photovoltaic panel with a perfectly horizontal or level surface.

Unit of measurement of power equivalent to one million watts.

Microgeneration consists of small sources of electricity generation distributed throughout the city, either in a building or in a public element such as a street lamp. It is a system of cooperation with large power plants, which makes the city more self-sufficient and less dependent on large powers for its supply. It is also designed for the installation of renewable energies.
